If I could get a phone without one I would.

I don't recall ever having used the damn thing, all it does is stick out like a wart making the phone unsightly and unnecessarily thick.

And the other, even more useless one is just poking an extremely irritating hole on the screen.

They're probably scratched beyond any usability anyway, since for some reason cases and screen protectors refuse to cover them.

If you want a phone without camera, wifi or audio, just install Linux on it /s

The /s is sarcasm.

It's the stereotype thing of Linux desktop 10 -15 years ago. I'm a Linux user for the past 25

I didnt ask for your unverifiable nerd card, I just stated what needed to be know about the state of linux on phones. I mean android is linux but with all the blobs that those companies require you not to tamper with. You could have mentioned other linux projects that are in the space as well, or even go after windows about how every update it resets all your audio for like a decade or more (dont even talk about plugging a monitor in or the power flickers then its all a mess). But you do you man.

Sorry, next time I'll mention other projects, go after windows, show my arch stockings and just in cases spell it out plainly in multiple languages so that there's no way for you to miss the /s.

That above, was sarcasm

Eso de arriba es sarcasmo
